An Executive Dinner by GEN - The Global Executive Network is an excellent opportunity to exchange ideas with experts and peers and discuss the latest and most important trends for a specific industry-related or management-focused topic. Executive Dinners are usually attended by between 18 and 22 executive guests and participation is always free of charge.

The event is intended for people who are responsible for the growing, packing, processing, buying, selling, transporting or distributing of fresh food. In short all members of the fresh supply chain. Fresh represents the following categories:

  • Fruits & Vegetables
  • Flowers & Plants
  • Meat & Fish
  • Bakery
  • Dairy
  • Deli

The fresh supply chain is one of the most challenging disciplines in grocery retail whilst representing the main instrument for grocers’ to differentiate in a competitive market. The complexity in the fresh supply chain originates in the complex and unpredictable events such as timing of harvests and production yields. This increases the need to respond quickly in order to serve consumer demands. Additional core issues of the fresh food supply chain are the lack of product standardisation, variety of products and the multitude of suppliers from big multi-national companies and cooperatives to individual farms and producers.

There is growing awareness on the consumer side for freshness, quality and social responsibility which increases the demand for traceability and sustainability across the supply chain. In addition consumers are also increasing demanding local or regional products which adds to the complexity of the process.

Due to these challenges the management of the fresh supply chain today is still a very manual and time consuming process with lots of disconnects and bottle necks. Existing systems are often focused on the internal operations and are not designed to collaborate with the multitude of other involved parties. This leads to numerous problems such as data accuracy and an overall lack of transparency.

Topics to be discussed at this Dinner:

  • Sustainability, growing quality awareness by the consumer and a trend towards more regional products drive the need for collaborative solutions!
  • How can we leverage collaboration based on emerging internet platforms to reduce complexities and increase transparency in the fresh supply chain?
  • How can we achieve clean, synchronized and rich data throughout the fresh supply chain to get full traceability?
  • How can we motivate every party in the fresh supply chain from small and regional suppliers to big cooperatives or multi-national companies to participate in the collaborative digital supply chain?
  • How can we reduce costs in the fresh supply chain and minimize write-offs, markdowns or waste?
  • How can we be more proactive in managing the complexities of the fresh supply chain to speed up transactions, increase shelf availability and reduce claims or discrepancies?
  • How to increase overall fresh supply chain efficiency and generate savings of up to 12% as well as a revenue lift of 5% by end to end online collaboration?


This Executive Dinner is of particular interest to all involved in the fresh supply chain as

  • CEO
  • CFO
  • COO
  • CIO
  • Managing Director
  • VP / Head of Supply Chain or Logistics
  • VP / Head of Food Buying
  • VP / Head of Food Merchandising
